All of the alligators seemed to have oil or chemical company logos on their sides.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the Environmental Protection Agency erred when it proposed to limit its asbestos safety review to products that continue to be manufactured, a decision that firefighters and construction workers said could threaten their health. The American Chemistry Council trade group has countered that the Obama-era EPA's asbestos review plan chased "illusory risks." (The Associated Press)

Roger Stone, a longtime friend and confidant of President Donald Trump, was found guilty of lying to Congress and witness tampering by a jury in federal court in Washington, D.C.

Stone, 67, a self-described political trickster, was charged with lying to Congress about his contacts with WikiLeaks during the 2016 election, as well as with tampering with a potential witness against him, Randy Credico.

The most corrupt administration in history.

Quote:
New documents reveal that the Trump administration has let a mining company take on a major role in writing the environmental report that is key to getting its Idaho gold mine project government approval, the Idaho Statesman reports.

According to documents obtained by Earthworks and reported by the Statesman, the U.S. Forest Service is allowing Canadian-based company Midas Gold to take a lead role in the creation of a biological assessment of its proposed open-pit gold mines in central Idaho.

The environmental report would asses the mines' impact on fish protected under the Endangered Species Act, including salmon, steelhead and bull trout. An assessment could shut down Midas Gold’s Stibnite Gold Project if it meant the company had to undertake costly habitat restoration work to protect the surrounding area.


February 2018 documents show the U.S. Forest Service initially denying Midas Gold's request to take part in the biological assessment, citing concerns that the project would harm endangered animals, but by October 2018, the company was leading the assessment.

Documents also show that the company heavily lobbied the Trump administration while obtaining approval for its involvement in the report, including meetings between Midas Gold and President Trump's deputy under secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's natural resources and environment.

After the meetings, internal documents reportedly show the U.S. Forest Service's opposition to Midas Gold's involvement caving.

Midas Gold's vice president of external affairs told the Statesman that it's normal to be a part of the assessment, calling the process "collaborative" with federal and state officials.

However, some are skeptical of the company's involvement and the Nez Perce Tribe, which has treaty rights to the land, opposes mining. The Nez Perce has cited concerns for nearby fish habitat as the mines would be erected near 80 river miles that are home to federally protected fish.

The Statesman reports that since the 1990s taxpayers have covered $4 million worth of habitat cleanup to restore land left in poor condition by past mining activity in the area.

Midas Gold officials told the Statesman that a draft of the report has not yet been written, but it is expected to inform an environmental impact report set to be released in early 2020.

Trump has surrounded himself with crooks and alligators.

Quote:
Environmental Protection Agency Chief of Staff Ryan Jackson is leaving the Trump administration to serve as senior vice president of government affairs for the National Mining Association, according to the trade group. Jackson had recently garnered attention amid a months-long dispute with the EPA's Office of Inspector General, which claimed Jackson was not cooperating with the office's investigations. (Bloomberg)

Just in case you weren't aware that Trump is the worst president for the environment in 50 years, here's what he proposes for next year:

Quote:
The White House's fiscal year 2021 budget proposal calls for a 26 percent cut in funding for the Environmental Protection Agency, including a 10 percent cut for Superfund cleanup efforts, despite a previous report that found the Trump administration has the largest backlog of Superfund cleanups in 15 years. The proposed budget also calls for a 16 percent funding cut for the Interior Department and an 8 percent cut for the Department of Energy, though previous agency budget cuts proposed by President Donald Trump have been overridden in Congress with bipartisan support. ( The Hill)


Of course this means that his buddies in the oil and coal companies, and Bard's brother, will not be prosecuted for breaking environmental laws. It's in addition to trying to essentially give away Federal property to mineral developers with low cost leases. Not even the Republicans have the stomach to go along with this.

Why are Democrat alligators (e.g., Clapper, Brennan, Hillary) not even prosecuted while Republican alligators (e.g., Stone, Flynn) are not only prosecuted but receive extreme sentences? Stone gets 2 to 5 times the sentence of violent rapists and child molesters while Brennan gets hired by MSNBC after committing the same crimes?

Fox hired Ollie North after he committed crimes... what's your point?

Please provide a citation , indictment documentation etc. that shows Brennan, and Clapper "committed crimes"... Seems like you're confused old man.
